Topviews Analysis does not update or merge pageviews after article is moved to a new title
Closed, DuplicatePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Open Topviews Analysis.
  • Select a date range where a specific article appears in the statistics.
  • Move (rename) the article to a new title on Wikipedia.
  • Reopen the same statistics or the same date range.

What happens?:

The old article title still appears in the statistics after the page is moved, instead of being replaced or merged with the new title.


What should have happened instead?:

The statistics should update to reflect the new title, or at least merge the pageviews from the old and new titles under the moved page.

This is T121912 / T159046. There's little I can do to solve it in Topviews, unfortunately.
